Fierro Painting recently painted this exterior and the new colors change the whole look and feel of the house.

The home is very beautiful right on the lake but the paint job was very basic with no curb appeal what so ever. We made suggestions for color as well as color placement to accent the fine details of this very nice home.

The result was a totally new looking home with three different colors and it was a hit with the homeowners, they loved it.

Exterior paint is not just for curb appeal it is also for protection from the elements. In Texas we have intense heat and it is very hard on exterior surfaces. We also have rain and lots of it so between the wet and the heat exterior wood will expand and contract causing old caulking to crack, which will lead to moisture getting inside the wood, and eventually causing water damage to the structure. Now you not only have to paint but you end up replacing wood that has been damaged so you always want to protect the outside of your property by maintaining the paint job on the exterior of your home.

Witness how the power of color transforms this plain wall into a new textured hand trowel old world texture with the leather look accomplished by using a single base color and a single darker glaze color over the top.

Photos of a recently finished job in the Bee Caves area of Austin. Enjoy.

Deep red in the living room with fireplace.

Beige finish in the game room.

The strips in this kids room look great with the colors in the room. The textured walls make striped a little more difficult.

Children’s room with a multi-colored glaze faux finish.

A classic beige color with an off white ceiling will always be a timeless look. The beige wall also makes the crown molding pop.

Entry to the dining room using multi colors really makes this house more interesting. Don’t be afraid to add color it can make a world of difference.

Here is one more example of how Bella Plaster from Pro Faux product line can turn a kitchen into an old Italian Villa.

The hand trowel texture in this kitchen with the Tuscany colors gives this home a very classic look. Texture is a great way to add beauty to any room.
We incorporated a combination of pigments to come up with this custom look that just made the room very warm and cozy. We later went back and did a similar finish in the powder bath.
